This invention is designed to provide a convenient means of supporting walls in course of construction and for analogous uses. It is particularl desirable with relation to veneer walls. uch walls in the course of construction move out of alinement, either under the influence of frost, excessive heat, or in pointing the -wall. The present device provides a support in which the wall can be definitely anchored to the frame of the building and thus preventing the bulgin .of the Wall while the mortar is still soft. eatures and details of the invention will appear from the specification and claims.

as follows Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a wall with the device in place. ,Fig. 2 a section of a wall with a side elevation of the device. I

Fig. 3 a perspective view of the supporting arm.

Fi 4 a perspective view of one of the adjusta le angle plates.

Fig. 5a perspective view of the other of the angle plates. 7 I. marks the studding, 2 the sheeting of a veneer building, and 3 a Wall in course of construction. A supporting arm 4 is provided with a longitudinal slot 5 along the arm. The arm is provided with a foot 6 which is preferably provided with akey-hole slot 7 and a slot 8 opening to the side of the arm. The arm is secured to the sheeting by a nail A. This nail is ordinarily driven so as to clam the foot against the sheeting. If the s cc tween the wall and the s'heetin is su cient a key-hole slot is preferably'used and it can be loosened from t e nail by driving upwardly on the foot, the space between the wall and the sheeting permitting the use of a hammer to drive the foot in this direction. If the space between the wall and the sheeting is too small for this purpose the slot 8 is preferably usedand then the foot is released from the nail by driving it laterally in a horizontal direction. a p An angle plate 9 has a downwardly ex. 50 tending portion and a base 10 whichus ar- A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings ranged against the supporting arm-4. It has a longitudinal slot 11 corresponding to the slot 5. A second angle plate 12 has a downward extending portion and base 13,. A screw '14 extends from the base 13. through the slots 11 and 5. A thumb nut 15 is provided by operating on the screw which when set up clamps the plates 9 and 12 on the supportin arm.

It Wlll. readily be seen that with this struc ture the angle plates may be adjusted relatively to each other to vary the distance be tween the downwardl ro ecting ortions so as to accommodate walls. The plates 9 and 12 may be adjusted outwardly, or inwardly on the arm by a movement of the screw along the slot 5 so as to adjust the supporting rojections on the an gle plates at the right distance from the support, as for instance, the sheeting to retain the wall in alinement.

While I have shown this in relation to a veneer wall it will be understood that the use of the device is not limited to this particular form of wall, or to retaining the specific structure shown.

What I claim as new is 1. In a bracket, the combination of a projecting arm; a foot on the arm; two angle plates mounted on the arm, each plate being slidably mounted 'on the arm and to each other; and means locking the plates together on the arm.

2. In a bracket, the combination of a projecting arm; afoot on the arm; two angle plates mounted on the arm, the arm and bases ofthe angle'plates forming relatively adjustable members, two of said members being longitudinally slotted; and a clamping screw extending through the slots and secured to the third member clamping the bases and arm together, the slots permitting the adjustment of the plates to each other and to the arm.

3. In a bracket,' the combination of a projecting arm; a foot on the arm having a nailing slot, said slot permitting a lateral movement of the foot relatively to a securing nail to loosen the foot from engagement with the erent thic asses of head of the nail; and angle plates secured to the arm.

4. In a bracket, the combination of a projecting arm; a foot having a key-hole slot, the elongation of the slot extending vertically lengthwise of the foot and a second slot extending crosswise of the foot; and angle plates secured to the arm. I

5. In a bracket, the combination of a pro- 10 jecting arm; a foot ont-he arm having a nailing slot, saidslot permitting a lateral movement of the foot relatively to a securing nail to loosen the foot from engagement with the head of the nail; two angle plates mounted 15 on the arm, each late being adjustable to the arm and to eacii other.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set m hand.
